Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda, has returned to social media after being bullied by people following her father's suicide in August.

The 25-year-old took to her Tumblr account and posted that "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim," a quote she borrowed from actor Harvey Fierstein, who starred in "Mrs. Doubtfire" with her late dad, New York Post reported.

"Accept no ones definition of your life; define yourself," the quote continued.

On Aug. 12, just days after the shocking news of her father's suicide, she announced that she was leaving the Twitterverse and Instagram after Internet trolls sent her graphic images and cruel comments pertaining to Williams' death.

 

Her public outing of the bullies even caused Twitter to reconsider its policies related to privacy and cyberbulling.
